<p>Look at that new book from ISTE that I linked to in my original post. I would also ask: does your district have a policy? Were teachers involved in the writing of the policy? If not, now would be a good time to get involved. Don't let lawyers and other non-educators write policy when they're clueless about how effective new media and technology can be at engaging students. Here is …</p>

<p>I just want to know some specific ways when teaching with phones and other technology that a teacher can protect him/herself as well as their students, while also keeping them on-task and engaged.</p>
<p></p>
<p>One suggestion, for example, that I heard was to have them keep their phones face down until their used in order to make sure they're used only for classwork and not distracting the students.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, another concern is for liability and damage. If a student is using a phone in class, is it possible that if it's stolen or broken in the process, that could come back on the teacher? If so, how can a teacher try to make sure that doesn't happen.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any suggestions for articles and books that might help answer this question are welcome and appreciated!</p> So...what are YOU doing in th…tag:mcpopmb.ning.com,2012-05-16:2665237:Comment:1219002012-05-16T02:08:21.275ZThomas Anderson, MLShttp://mcpopmb.ning.com/profile/ThomasAndersonMLS
<p>So...what are YOU doing in the classroom to provide meaningful uses for students who can BYOD? </p>
<p>What responsibilities do you teach with regard to appropriate use and in what ways do your students demonstrate meaningful use that can be tracked and measured to standards as a way to show value as a learning tool?</p>
<p>What is happening, "In the most ideal class settings"?</p>
